This week on Canadian Creepies, Valerie is joined by a special guest co-host—her bandmate Michelle from The Thumbs! Together, they dive into the legacy of one of Canada’s most iconic bands, The Tragically Hip.

In Part One of this two-part series, we explore how The Hip became the soundtrack of Canada, weaving deeply Canadian stories into their music and shaping national identity through song. We also take a closer look at Gord Downie’s connection to spirits, the afterlife, and Indigenous reconciliation, including his powerful work on Secret Path—the heartbreaking story of Chanie Wenjack and Canada’s dark past with residential schools.

Join us as we unravel the poetic, haunting, and spiritual layers of The Tragically Hip’s music and legacy. And stay tuned for Part Two, where we’ll dive into haunted venues, eerie coincidences, and the supernatural energy surrounding The Hip.

Hit play and let’s go ahead by a century! 🎶👻
